A rally in Copperbelt Energy Corp. is poised to help Zambia’s benchmark stock index become Africa’s best performer this year. | News24_Business

Copperbelt, which supplies power to mining companies in Africa’s second-biggest copper producer, contributed most to the index’s advance.

Local investors piled into the power supplier’s stock after the government of President Hakainde Hichilema, who was elected in August last year, helped resolve a dispute the company had with the previous administration. The gains in the company’s shares may continue next year, according to Charles Mate, founder of Stockbrokers Zambia Ltd.

“What we have seen really is a resurgence in terms of investor interest, especially from the domestic market,” Mate said. “This stock still has significant upside.”
